Ri3156b_set(query)_carrier_run_mode
Description
This function allows the user to select carrier run mode. The Model 3156B offers four run modes: Continuous,
Triggered, Gated, and Burst. The selected waveform is repeated continuously when the instrument is set to
operate in continuous mode. In this mode, the Model 3156B requires a ri3156B_set_enable (1) call to stimulate
output cycles. The default operating mode of the instrument is continuous.
Triggered, Gated, and Burst modes require an external signal, or software command to initiate output cycles.
See the description for the function ri3156B_set_global_opearting_mode() for a discussion on selecting the
appropriate 3156B Run Mode.
Channel Dependency: Common

ViStatus ri3156b_set_carrier_run_mode (ViSession instrHandle,

Description
instrHandle
ViSession
The Instrument Handle is used to identify the unique
session or communication channel between the driver
and the instrument. If more than one instrument of the
model type is used, this will be used to differentiate
between them. Note that the initialize function may be
used to associate multiple instrument handles with a
single instrument.
carrierRunMode
ViInt16
Selects one of the 3156B run modes: CONT, TRIG,
GATED and BURST.
Valid Range: 0-3
0 Continuous - continuous waveform is generated,
following a ri3156B_set_enable (1) call
1 Triggered - each trigger generates a single waveform
cycle. The trigger source is selected using the
ri3156B_set_trigger_source() function
2 Gated - An external signal enables output
waveforms.
F
irst output cycle is synchronous
with
the active slope of the trigger
signal. Last waveform
cycle is always completed.
3 Burst - A preset number of up to 1M cycles is
triggered by either a backplane trigger or by the
internal timer. This mode is available in either STD
and User modes only. The source of the trigger is
programmed using the ri3156B_trigger_source() call.
The number of cycles is programmed using the
function ri3156B_burst_mode().
Default Value: 0
